Stuttering is a complex disorder which often requires
a specialized professional to diagnose and treat it. General information
about stuttering may be obtained from a variety of reputable sources,
including physicians, teachers, and child development specialists.
These professionals may have brochures, books, videos, or other
information about stuttering, however, they will not be able to
diagnose and treat the disorder if one exists. Consult a speech-language
pathologist (SLP) for proper diagnosis and treatment.
